With fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese and English, Karen has the language skills to work with clients across the Pacific Rim. This cultural understanding allows her to bridge gaps and facilitate business within Vancouver and its ever-growing demographic.

Before law, Karen was a corporate banker in Hong Kong, China and London. This helps our clients because she has been exposed to many businesses from both a financial and operations perspective, giving her an intuition of what works and what does not. She has an understanding of the bigger picture of what businesses need to succeed along with a sensitivity to international and cultural nuances. Karen is able to apply global practices to local innovation and development.

People working towards a greater goal—seizing opportunities and daring to dream—is what inspires Karen. She views her job as helping our clients turn their goals into achievements by providing solutions that combine legal sense with commerciality.
